Quantum introduces new DXi Disk, Scalar Tape Solution 
Quantum Corp has announced that an integrated DXi disk and Scalar tape solution are expected to save Serco Global Technology Delivery $2 million in storage costs over the next five years. Serco, which delivers a range of managed and outsourced business solutions, has already benefited, reducing disk capacity needs by up to 96 per cent and decreasing restore times by a factor of five.
In the last three years, Serco’s technology business has grown steadily from a 50-terabyte (TB) environment into an 800TB infrastructure. Serco expects to reach five petabytes within five years and had sought a flexible solution to protect the increasing volumes of data while reducing excessive management costs.

Serco now has eight Quantum DXi8500 disk-based backup systems and two Scalar i500 tape libraries to provide flexible deduplication, a scalable architecture, and enterprise-wide backup and disaster recovery for their clients. Serco runs CommVault backup software and relies on Quantum Vision management software to manage its disk and tape environment from a single console. The IT team can even track Vision data through mobile devices.
